In loving memory of Aloupa Joseph Watt

In the early morning hours of July 31, 2002, my world as I knew it came tumbling down around me.

This was the day that my son’s life was senselessly taken away by someone who belonged in jail, but instead was free to have access to guns, which he was known to be dangerous with.

Two years ago, on August 2, Aloupa at 26 years old, left his family forever. Through his death, he gave life to others by donating his organs. His name appears on a monument in Sherbrooke, Quebec, along with many others who are named “Ambassadors of Health” for their “gift of life.”

Aloupa will never be forgotten, and he lives on in others as well as in our hearts. We miss him and our lives will never be the same without him, but we are grateful that he was a part of us even if for a short time.
